Title:

Waste disposal facilities near Richmond Shipyards take the form of outdoor privies like that in the background, and open cesspools like this into which waste water is piped or dumped. With the coming of rainy weather and frequent cloudbursts, both will often overflow in this low, flat region. There is danger of typhoid.
